Pectobacterium spp. isolated from rotting carrots obtained from markets in Gampaha district, Sri Lanka exhibit the potential of having broad host ranges

A Novel Based Synthesis of Silver/Silver Chloride Nanoparticles from Stachys emodi Efficiently Controls Erwinia carotovora, the Causal Agent of Blackleg and Soft Rot of Potato

“…The antibacterial activity of the study showed similar results to those previously reported studies that suggested that biosynthesized Ag/AgClNPs (by using grape pomace aqueous extract) have potential in controlling the growth of E. carotovora [ 57 ]. E. carotovora is a Gram-negative bacterium which affects most vegetables and fruits in the field and during shipment or in storage [ 58 ]. E. carotovora infect the host plant through some injuries and degrade its cell wall, followed by tissue maceration leading to the soft rotting of stems and fruits [ 9 , 59 ].…”

Pectobacterium carotovorum Phage vB_PcaM_P7_Pc Is a New Member of the Genus Certrevirus

“…The host range of P7_Pc was examined against 11 bacterial strains from 6 different species of the genus Pectobacterium . P. carotovorum T (DSM 30168), P. atrosepticum T (DSM 18077), P. odoriferum T (DSM 22556), and P. betavasculorum T (DSM 18076), as well as seven previously isolated and characterized strains of P. carotovorum (C1B5, C2B6, C2B7, and C2B8), P. aroidearum (C1B3 and C1B4), and P. polaris (C3B9) ( 28 ) were used in the host range analysis. The phage was capable of forming clear plaques against not only its host strain, P. carotovorum (DSM 30168), but also with several other P. carotovorum strains, C2B6, C2B7, and C2B8 ( Table 1 ).…”
